I wanted to do another little cross stitch project, and with the Jubilee coming up, I was feeling extra British…

So I drew out the Union Jack flag on some squared paper…

Cut a piece of 22 count fabric… edged and with the centre lines sewn on…

I first started with one quadrant, and the red thread…

….then the blue….

…and then I filled in the white (and treated myself to an embroidery hoop to make sure it’s nice and taut!)..

Cute yeah?…. Now for the rest of it!

update 15.04.2012: I finished the stitching!
